    I have worn my wet clothing to bed just to dry it out a couple of times. Wiggys bags are great for that but I would not try it in any of my other bags.

    That really depends on what type of sleeper you are. My sleep patterns vary so much that yes some nights I end up off my pad and other nights I wake up in the same position I went to sleep in. With that said I never worried about having a sleeping bag that would hold my sleeping pad. If I...

    Bone saw for Alaska

    I use the Gerber folding saw and have used a Wyoming saw as well, both are great saws. I seriously do not think there is a quality saw that weighs less than either of them but if there is someone please let me know. If you take your time you can separate the ribs from the spine with a knife...

    What's your shelter?

    I just hump my Cabela's 6 man Alaska Guide tent with added vestibule. :) On backpack hunts I use a Terra Nova Laser Competition that comes in right at or under 2lbs. Used it on a few hunts last season and was very impressed with it. No condensation issues even when I used my stove inside it...

    Who wants to live 24/7 in all their gear? Personally I can not control the temps outside and I don't want to wear all of my gear to bed either so I like a bag that is rated for a colder temp then I plan on using it in. It is easy enough to unzip it some to cool off if I get too hot. That...

    What Pistol?

    You got me I forgot about those! Smiths don't like to play with hot/heavy loads all that much.

    The most comfortable pad I have used so far has been the Big Agnes Insulated Air Core. Great pad and pretty light and works for all 4 seasons due to the insulation. For bags I used a Montbell U.L. Super Spiral Down Hugger, they are not cheap but they are very comfortable, warm , and light...

    Meat care in the back country.

    Any animal shot in temps above 40 degrees needs to be quartered and hung in the shade right away.

    Meat care in the back country.

    Most guys I know of that hunt sheep early when the temps are warm stick the meat in contractor bags and submerge it in creeks to keep it cool. It is hard to beat that for proper meat care in any temp much less warm ones.

    Solid Colors

    Great book! I mainly wear solids and rifle hunt but have not noticed a difference when I have been up close to animals. They either make me far off or never make me. I do wear some camo but that is only because the Army issues it to me and it is good quality gear that I can not see replacing...

    gaiters

    I am glad someone finally asked this question. I have used gaiters while cross country skiing but never saw a need while hunting but have been curious why I see and hear of so many other people using them while hunting.

    Who uses a spotting scope?

    This is exactly what I do as well and it works great. Another thing I will do with the spotter aside from the grid technique is look over probable areas with the spotter either before or after I do the grid. Funny how so many of us were never taught the grid or even heard about it yet we came...
